When composite Venus is conjunct composite Mars: 

The passionate, deliciously amorous feelings you arouse in one another initially are destined always to be an important "glue" in your relationship. This powerful drive you feel toward one another will be hard to ignore, and it is unlikely the two of you will ever be "just friends". No matter what you tell yourselves, the sexual energies between you are highly charged, and the love-desire quite intense. Your feelings for each other will always be "hot", and are unlikely to ever cool to indifference. However, if other aspects of your lives bring you into conflict, your animosity toward one another would become as hot-blooded and fierce as your love. You simply will never be lukewarm toward one another. Nevertheless, prospects for deep fulfillment - at least on the physical level - and sexual harmony are excellent. This is part of what draws you together, one of the purposes of your relationship.

 

When composite Venus is opposition composite Mars: 

Your relationship is destined to always be a "hot" one. The sexual fireworks which are generated between the two of you are undeniable. However, certain difficulties will arise from time to time in this arena - among them: differences in how you each express or wish to receive affection, an element of conquest or dominance that evokes competitive feelings in the other person, or possessiveness because one or both of you feel you can't get enough of the other person. It may be hard for both of you to get your sexual-emotional needs met, as one of you is apt to dominate. Imbalances of this sort can create a lot of anger in the neglected, "giving" partner. If, however, you can learn to take turns giving and receiving, and focus on truly joining, the two of you can have a very vibrant, passionate relationship.

Part of the purpose of your relationship is, in fact, to learn to balance your own desires and needs with those of your partner, and to be able to honor both.

When composite Venus is square composite Mars: 

Inevitably there will be passion and fireworks in your relationship, and just as inevitably there will be friction, argumentativeness, and competition between you - all of which adds to the magnetic attraction you have for one another. Fighting will create more desire and cause amorous feelings to flow. But if one or both of you prefers a more peaceful relationship, all of this intensity can be unnerving. Sexual disharmonies or conflicting needs and desires regarding how love is expressed will have to be worked out. Lack of passion, however, will never be a issue!

This is destined to be a vibrant and very physical relationship. If for some reason the two of you could not physically express your affections for each other, you will find being in one another's presence irritating and frustrating.

When composite Venus is trine composite Mars: 

Warm affection, romantic desire, and sexual harmony come naturally with the two of you. You'll find that expressing yourselves sexually will simply flow, and this should be a source of great fulfillment in your relationship, easing at least somewhat any of the other challenges or conflicts you may have.

This is destined to be a very creative union, and very fulfilling. In addition to the passionate element, which is quite strong, other avenues of creative self-expression flourish when the two of you work together. If either of you is artistically inclined, your relationship will enhance this. On a biological level, as well, the two of you are quite fertile. There are very warm feelings that flow between you, and there will be distinct times in your relationship when you both feel you are with your sexual and romantic soulmate.

When composite Venus is sextile composite Mars: 

Sexual harmony and compatibility, and a healthy balance between giving and receiving, are much of what this relationship is about. One of the blessings between the two of you is that each of you can give without feeling diminished or depleted. Being together gives you energy, sparks your vitality and creativity on many levels (in addition to the physical, sexual one). This is destined to be a fulfilling, mutually satisfying love, and keeping the love fresh and alive will not require a lot of effort, either!

When composite Venus is quincunx composite Mars: 

A certain degree of sexual disharmony or frustration is part of the challenge in your relationship. What arouses or pleases one of you may be so foreign to the other that you simply miss one another's cues, or your drives may be of very different levels of intensity. Poor timing or different rhythms and pacing may well play a role. Somehow, the two of you aren't in sync, physically or sexually. This is not to say there won't be plenty of desire and affection, only that learning how to give and receive it will require adjustments and patience on both of your parts. A rewarding physical relationship will only be possible if you're both willing to learn and compromise.
